If the US had bombed the heck out of Iraq to eradicate any chance of weapons...

... it would have been far better than pushing regime change...

... and leaving a power vacuum.

But the insistence of the connection to Al Qaeda is what they needed to do regime change.

And regime change is what they needed for the big money (and oil) to start flowing.

I think we can conclude her leadership on the Democratic side on this lead to uncontested engagement in the biggest mistake in US history.
